Get ready for an exciting new Xbox experience on Android! An updated Xbox mobile app is on the horizon, potentially launching as early as next month, November. This app will reportedly allow Android users to purchase and play games directly within the app itself.
The Details:
Xbox president Sarah Bond recently announced this development on X (formerly Twitter), highlighting how a recent court ruling impacting the Google Play Store will facilitate increased options and flexibility for app stores. This refers to the conclusion of Google's four-year antitrust battle with Epic Games. The court mandated that Google provide third-party app stores with full access to its app catalogue and distribute these stores for three years (November 1st, 2024 – November 1st, 2027), unless individual developers opt out.
What's New?
While an existing Xbox Android app allows game downloads to Xbox consoles and cloud streaming for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, the November update will add direct game purchasing capabilities.
Further specifics will be revealed in November. For more in-depth information, check out the CNBC article mentioned in the original piece. In the meantime, be sure to read our coverage of Solo Leveling: Arise’s Autumn Update.
